Visual media retargeting
Ariel Shamir, Olga Sorkine · 2009
The increasing variety of commonly used display devices, especially mobile devices, requires adapting visual media to different resolutions and aspect ratios - a process called "retargeting." The media retargeting problem is further accentuated by the explosion of image and video content on the web. This course presents a comparative overview of the latest research in visual-media retargeting. It focuses on content-aware approaches, which, contrary to traditional scaling and cropping, adapt to the salient information within the image or video and rescale the content while preserving visually important information.
